This rare talent allows her to create illusions that others can see, feel and touch, with personalities all of their own.

But no matter how lifelike they may seem, her illusions are still just that—illusions, and not truly real. Or so she always believed…until one of them is murdered. Now she must unravel the horrifying truth before all her loved ones disappear.
